Talk about nickel and diming you to death......
I'm a car guy, but will most likely never own a BMW in my life. I found this a little shocking none the less that BMW would even think of treating it's customers like this. Wow !! I've never heard of such a thing.

You gotta be $h!ttn me!
Lol, who doesn't have heated car seats these days....my Hybrid Nissan Rogue keeps mine and my wifes buns warm all winter long...and the hybrid keeps our mpg near 35 despite the weight of an AWD system.
BMW's used to be a status symbol...but so many cars are so well made these days, I don't think the Beemer has that much of a "status edge" anymore.
A buddy of mine drives a 2003 Beemer, and thinks he's king of the hill
, until he's reminded his ancient car has non of the bells and whistles of todays cars.

Just FYI .......:smile:

"We think the market might have been too complacent too soon in fading recession risks," strategists at Goldman Sachs told clients this week. "We think markets will be vulnerable to hawkish surprises."
The big reason investors haven't dumped stocks is because they entered 2022 with high levels of cash, according to Chedid. As inflation surges, diluting that cash's value, they're not eager to hold more. And so far, attractive alternatives have been limited.
"It means that the pain trade is on the way down," Chedid said. In other words, those who still have skin in the game could get hammered.

"We have more work to do because we have not seen that turn in inflation," Mester said in an interview with the Washington Post. "It's got to be a sustained several months of evidence that inflation has first peaked - we haven't even seen that yet - and that it's moving down."

So I was just skimming over the charts at https://www.tradingview.com/markets/stocks-usa/ideas/ and most all that are S&P related have it going down to the 360 area give or take by late August / early September. Some even lower, but most are focused on that 360 number for some reason before the next bounce.
If it goes there, it might be Toe Dippin Time !!!

MPW made an observation a week ago.
Whenever AAII sediment survey gets around 32 / 33% in the Bullish category, the market goes south. It's now at 33.3%, and the Bears have increased slightly. It's happened the past 3 times. Just something else to think about.....

WOOT-WOOT
A little SS FYI for those of you who receive it. I'm not quite there yet. Workin on it..... :laugh:
From https://www.foxbusiness.com/persona...lldgfrdaljumfqtmllbgi4dillbmu3gmmzqg43tcytehe
The Consumer Price Index (CPI), a measure of inflation, increased by 8.5% annually in July, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). This was down slightly from 9.1% in June, but remains near its 40-year high.
Because inflation levels remain high, the cost of living average (COLA) for 2023 is predicted to be 9.6%, the highest level since 1981, according to The Senior Citizens League. If inflation rises further in the coming months, COLA could be 10.1% in the year ahead. Whereas if inflation continues to slow, it could be closer to 9.3%.
"A high COLA will be eagerly anticipated to address an ongoing shortfall in benefits that Social Security beneficiaries are experiencing in 2022 as inflation runs higher than their 5.9% COLA," the Senior Citizens League stated.
